The Portuguese are renowned sailors, and our 800km coastline draws us to the water. Ricardo, also known as “El Professor” or “The Captain,” is a pioneer swimmer in the Algarve. Born in 1980, his love for the sea, sea creatures, and the geology of Portugal is unparalleled.
Adamastor, a mythological figure created by Portuguese poet Luiz de Camões in 1572, represents the Cape of Good Hope. This mythical monster challenged Portuguese sailors on their voyages to India. Today, Adamastor symbolizes the challenges of the sea and nature’s power, and of course, untamable sea spirit.
Adamastor Swim Adventures offers journeys rooted in knowledge and understanding of the ocean. We are proud locals, passionate about the sea and its secrets. Our expertise spans sea life, currents, tides, and celestial navigation.
